This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I paid $9, 000 and signed a $5, 000 note in August 08 for a contract "guaranteeing" me $60, 000 in gross annual billing. The master franchisee rushed me into two major account, both severely underbid, prior to me being trained. Both accounts were taken away from me within 30 days ans subsequently passed around to several other "new" franchisees. My total billing was around $5, 300 and I was told that "my contract had been fulfilled" and any new accounts I would receive would be charged to me. Finally, in October 08, I completed my training and then got a few accounts, but they still only totaled around $16, 000 for the year. This year will be even less.

The management skills of the owner are awful. They have had 6-7 operations managers in less than two years. Some of them don't know which end of the mop goes on the floor, but they are still hired as the experts. Most of them get tired of the lies and deceit and simply quit.

At my request, a friend went "franchise shopping" and was told that it would be no trouble to get him $125, 000 in gross billing for the $20, 000 he told Jan-Pro he was ready to invest. He even got their lies by email. THEY WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO GET YOUR MONEY - that's the bottom line. Worst business decision I ever made and if legal means do not work to recover my money, I have another solution. If you want more information or want to get back at the franchisee that messed you over, email me: [protected]@yahoo.com or give me a call.

In all fairness, since the article was published almost a year ago, the local Jan Pro franchisor has come back and offered me additional accounts, but I refused them due to my not being able to climb stairs. In spite of all this, I would actually clear almost $25 per hour if I were doing all the work myself, which you have to admit, is a pretty good part time job, so be the judge on whether or not it suits you. No where close to what I paid for, but it is what it is . . .

This company sucks, they employed illegal at certain pay rate within a month they lower down their rate from $9-$8, they also ask employees to take the dirty rags home to wash them other wise they will get fire, the Colombian supervisor is always harassing the women, he calls them after work hours to find out what they are doing,

Run! I haven’t saw a god side to it yet. I haven’t made one dollar but worked another owners contract. Their excuse we got sued but they refuse to provide me with any proof. Have called since then for other accounts . They always say there’s none available. It’s so much I can go on and on . My best advice is run! (NewOrleans Louisiana)
